Frequently asked questions

How long does an FFL compliance audit take?

Most initial audits take 1-3 business days depending on your inventory volume and license type. Follow-up remediation timelines vary based on findings.

Do I need to be present during a mock inspection?

Yes. The value of a mock inspection is that your team experiences the process firsthand. We walk through it just as an ATF IOI would.

What FFL types do you support?

We work with Type 01 (Dealer), Type 02 (Pawnbroker), Type 07 (Manufacturer), and Type 08 (Importer) licensees. Contact us for other types.
